EP45-UD3P and Q6600 Overclock Help (stable at 3.2 Ghz)

Hello everyone,

I am new to posting but I am by no means new to this board. I have been reading and lurking around for quite some time now. I currently have my system stable at 3.264 Ghz with the below settings and wish to get it to 3.6 Ghz. I have tried many different settings and voltages but have not had any luck with getting it stable @3.6. As I've mentioned the settings below are rock solid for 3.26 - I run SMP Foldings on 2 Ubuntu Virtual Machines 24/7 and have never crashed w/ 100% CPU usage w/ 8GBs of DDR2.

DRAM Performance Control
Performance Enhance...................: [STANDARD]
Extreme Memory Profile (X.M.P.).....: Disabled
(G)MCH Frequency Latch...............: [Auto]
System Memory Multiplier ..............: 2.00B/2.00D for 900 or 2.40B for 1080, with 8GB of ram you may have the best luck at such a high overclock at a lower speed with tighter timings

Motherboard Voltage Control
Voltage Type.………... Manual
CPU
CPU Vcore….……….........................: 1.375 << Way more, and check your vdrop/vdroop to see what your boards drop is, Enable LLC as well if you like to lessen this amount. Maybe 1.4-1.45 for 3.6 (Actual shown in CPU-z)

CPU Termination…..... 1.200V*.......: 1.2V << here is one of the many things holding you back. Set this manually, looks like you are. For 3.6 you may need 1.35-1.55

CPU PLL…………………....1.500V*.......: default << Ouch! Auto will put 1.85 into there if you are using that! Hope not. I would try 1.55-1.65
